Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

We begin by showing how Democrats will win in the long run on the government shutdown, even though it looks like they are capitulating this week.  Plus, the Supreme Court’s refusal to overturn Obergefell shows that even the GOP appointees are hopelessly political. Next, we’re joined by mortgage finance expert Melody Wright, who explains why Trump’s plan to create a 50-year mortgage not only is deb...

I fear that the entire political Right is going to waste its focus on redistricting and ending the filibuster in the hopes of changing the trajectory.  While I don’t oppose either proposition, neither of them will actually change the outcome of the election, because we have slept through primaries for years. We simply don’t have enough conservatives to win a national election or accomplish good th...

Well, well, well. That didn’t take long. OpenAI’s leadership hinted yesterday at what we all know: namely, that the company's financing model is unsustainable and its leaders are expecting government to bail them out. I explain how their entire enterprise is not built upon the free market, so all of its economic and social consequences are not in line with the benefits we’ve reaped from legitimate...

Last night’s election results, capping an uninterrupted stream of Democrat victories down-ballot since 2017, lay bare for us the results of having an industry while Democrats enjoy a movement. We have no money, no ground game, no candidate recruitment, and, most importantly, no economic message. I cast a wide net in the analysis of where things are headed electorally and how we will never win by l...

We begin by discussing President Trump’s call to end the filibuster and under which circumstances it would make sense to do so. Next, as we watch Islamists gain more control over our politics, we need a plan to counterattack against the Muslim Brotherhood influence and creeping Sharia. We’re joined today by Chris Holton of the Center for Security Policy, who has been fighting to keep Sharia law ou...

We are beleaguered and besieged by communists on the Left, Islamists, third-world migration, and then institutional Republicans who help facilitate it while pretending to fight it. The divide used to be between the grassroots and K Street. But now reactionaries who claim to oppose all of this but then add their own fascist nonsense to the mix of vices we face are ensuring that no legitimate right-...

Since Oct. 7, I’ve barely focused on anything related to Israel, and instead we’ve covered dozens of critical fiscal, social, land-use, security, and immigration-related issues that are at the core of the America First agenda. Yet what we are seeing today is a low-IQ, debauched movement that is distracting us at the highest levels with daily obsessions not just about Israel but about Jews. My conc...

The top voices on the so-called Right continue to distract us with fake conspiracies under the guise of "just asking questions." They do this because it generates controversy and a strong following. However, what we really need is a movement built around providing answers to the vexing questions on the critical issues of our time — fiscal, social, demographic. I show an example of what such articu...

It’s time to reclaim deterrence and punishment against growing street violence. We’re joined today by crime expert Rafael Mangual, fellow at the Manhattan Institute, for a broad discussion on the multiple factors driving repeat, violent offenders to continue their crime sprees. After identifying the factors behind the revolving door, Mangual offers a list of ideas to harden the system, including t...

Why is it that right-leaning influencers and elected officials continue to adopt so many ideas foreign to conservatism?  Today, I go through some principles of conservatism from Russell Kirk to show how today’s reactionary performers on the Right are leading us astray. Nowhere is this more evident than with those throwing out all principles about never negotiating with terrorists. The administrati...

If only we had a real government shutdown. During the supposed shutdown, we have seen the formulation of several terrible economic and foreign policies. I begin with some bad news about this administration’s coddling of Islamic figures. Next, we move on to the economy. We all complained throughout the Biden administration that we had a crony economy that only worked for a handful of tech companies...

Last decade, we all recognized that Democrats produced fighters and that Republican corporatists were no match for them. But after today’s show, you will learn how we’ve actually gone backward in the era of Trump and social media. I go through the news of the day, primary elections, and Trump’s liberal positions on several new issues and contrast them to Democrat consistency and ferocity in pursui...

We begin the show expressing concern about Trump’s opposition to a new reconciliation bill at a time when we need to codify so many of his policies into law. One of those big policies is agriculture reform. We’re joined today by Breeauna Sagdal, an independent rancher and policy fellow with the Beef Initiative, who outlines for us the multifront war on ranchers and farmers and all of the governmen...

Follow the money. The two big focuses of the Trump administration this week are bailing out Argentinian farmers and doing the bidding of Qatar in the Middle East. They are both related to donors and businesses interests. Today, I offer the definitive case against our involvement in this utopian peace process with Hamas, Qatar, and Turkey. Kushner and Witkoff are not only bought out by Arab interes...

We need to build a red-state insurance policy. I explain how we are losing America in terms of economy, security from Islam, and foreign policy, even under GOP control. Despite Hamas’ repeated violations of the ceasefire, we continue to expend more time and treasure promoting the welfare of Gaza and restraining Israel. Also, Con Inc. is becoming a "white-pill mechanism" to tamp down the angst of t...

There are increasing calls to unify all factions of the Right. I’m not opposed to that sentiment, but we have to unify behind some affirmative vision beyond simply beating Democrats at the ballot box (but not on the policy playing field). I go through a list of existential threats to our civilization, from Islamism and rampant domestic terrorism to judicial supremacism, unaffordability, and a lack...

The Left focuses on results while the online Right focuses on entertainment. This creates a dynamic in which Con Inc. prioritizes talking points over fixed policy objectives, which often leads to championing causes that are foreign to conservatives. Nowhere is this more evident than with the online Right championing the communist, pro-Islamist talking points on Gaza. It has now led to us getting e...

We’ve succeeded in pushing back against men encroaching on private female spaces, but now it’s time to interpose against governmental and feminist encroachment on male spaces. On today’s special show, we’re joined by Scott Yenor, professor of political science at Boise State and fellow at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss his call for returning military academies like the Virginia Military Insti...

Never before have we built such a raucous movement inveighing against foreign influence, yet never before have we been infiltrated by more foreign influence than under Trump’s relationship with Qatar. Today, I delve into Trump’s decision to grant Qatar a facility in an Idaho air base as part of a train of favors to this terror-supporting country and in the context of the Gaza deal forced upon Isra...

We begin today’s show with a roundup of news on Senate negotiations over the government shutdown, as well as the news of Trump deploying troops to Israel to promote aid for Islamic nutcases. Next, we’re joined by Brian Jacobson, an expert in training with AI LLMs, for a long discussion about the unsustainable pursuit of “artificial general intelligence.”   He explains how cloud-based AI chatbots a...

What is the one- to four-year game plan of the online Right other than clicks? I show how Democrats continue to crush Republicans in special elections, and yet we are not even dying on our own hills. I nostalgically look back to the 2013 Obamacare shutdown fight to contrast the two parties and to show how Democrats are united behind a message even when they have a losing hand to play. Republicans...

In light of the courts now attempting to commandeer the National Guard, how much usurpation will be deemed too far by the Trump administration? When will the administration finally assert executive authority against the weaker judiciary as it does against the stronger Congress on a regular basis? I explain exactly why you can’t comply your way out of the problem by hoping to appoint better judges...

There is a hip trend among the degenerate online "Right" to side with Gaza and the Muslim Brotherhood while blaming Israel for everything. They claim to want to rid ourselves of foreign influence, but they are the ones who are in fact corrupted by the worst forms of foreign influence. On today’s special episode with Middle East analyst Jordan Schachtel, we look at the Gaza war two years later and...

Thanks to Trump unifying the party and Democrat overreach, Republicans have surprisingly held strong on the shutdown. We first delve into a new, dangerous agreement to defend Qatar in case of war. At a time of global intifada being fomented by the Muslim Brotherhood, why is there no outcry about elevating Qatar to de facto NATO status? Next, we’re joined by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the chairman o...

The partial federal shutdown is a joke born out of nonsense, with both parties agreeing to keep our economy, society, and system of government shutdown. Today, I explain why our economy is shut down with Trump reneging on his promise to focus on the forgotten man and instead offering favors to Pfizer and Big Tech. Next, I focus on the shutdown of representative democracy, as the judicial power has...
